Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The hilarious thing, many of the loudest people solely focused on criticizing only Harris actually ended up voting for her. But their votes could not offset all the people they demotivated from voting entirely or convinced to vote for Trump.
Democrats never need help losing. But they will always gladly accept it. They've never ever learned the lesson in the past 40 years and yet these people thought somehow they would? Make it make sense.
I think there are many, many reasons, but a simple one is: Democratic voters don't like being told who to vote for. Republican voters demand to be told who to vote for.
So 'dividing the left' is super-easy and profitable.
Anyone familiar with the Forward Party? Seems like there could be some real momentum behind this. A good home for independents and anyone sick of the 2-parties fighting who's better when they're both corrupt. There's more than 2 polar opposites, everyone..
Not just Democratic voters. People of all stripes who have a modicum of critical thinking skills. Which was why I didn't participate in that myself. Just pointing out (correctly) who would win if it wasn't the democrat. (I wish I could have been wrong) To the loudest most obsessed posters. Doesn't matter who you voted for or if you didn't vote at all. It's your right. But I think we should all strive to be as informed as possible. And not self destructively manipulated as many were. I genuinely believe most were ernest, sincere, and extremely naive.
It's fucking damning that the genocide wasn't optional in the election. And still isn't a deal breaker for national leadership. But without an actual plan to replace or remove them. At least not kneecapping ourselves should be the baseline.
Save 10 million in order to spend 10 billion. Classic right wing economics.
